The ratio of ODs taken at A260nm/A280nm was found to be 5.314 which could be because improper washing step which has ...

Cell phone use has effects and impacts in the long run when health and risks are concerned. Studies have shown that there are effects that are associated with the use of cell phones. There is some amount of electromagnetic radiations that are emitted by all cell phones. This is a point of concern with the way in which mobile phones are used with a close proximity to the head while they are being used. The main point of contention is the amount of radiation that can be considered to be safe and that one which can be considered to be harmful ...

Principle Gel Electrophoresis is a method used in the laboratory for the separation of charged molecules like nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and proteins that differ in size or charge (Agarose gel electrophoresis (basic method)). LB (Lithium Borate) buffer is the widely used buffer in agarose gel electrophoresis. The buffer solution comprises of Lithium hydroxide monohydrate and boric acid. LB buffer has low conductivity which can run at a high speed (5-50V/cm) than the gels which are made of TBE or TAE buffers (5-10 V/cm) which in turn reduces the run time drastically (Brody 6).
